Isaiah 34:2-8

^{Tools
2}

For the Lord’s ^(A)indignation is against all the nations,
And His wrath against all their armies;
He has ^(a)^(B)utterly destroyed them,
He has given them over to ^(C)slaughter.

So their slain will be ^(D)thrown out,
And their corpses ^(b)will give off their ^(E)stench,
And the mountains will ^(c)be drenched with their ^(F)blood.

^{Tools

And ^(G)all the host of heaven will ^(d)wear away,
And the ^(H)sky will be rolled up like a scroll;
All their hosts will also wither away
As a leaf withers from the vine,
Or as one withers from the fig tree.

^{Tools

For ^(I)My sword is satiated in heaven,
Behold it shall descend for judgment upon ^(J)Edom
And upon the people whom I have ^(K)devoted to destruction.

^{Tools

The sword of the Lord is filled with blood,
It is ^(e)sated with fat, with the blood of lambs and goats,
With the fat of the kidneys of rams.
For the Lord has a sacrifice in ^(L)Bozrah
And a great slaughter in the land of ^(M)Edom.

^{Tools

^(N)Wild oxen will also ^(f)fall with them
And ^(O)young bulls with strong ones;
Thus their land will be ^(P)soaked with blood,
And their dust ^(g)become greasy with fat.

^{Tools
8}

For the Lord has a day of ^(Q)vengeance,
A year of recompense for the ^(h)cause of Zion.
